How long is too long to spend looking for Stratum Tectonicas and only finding the bacterium?

It tends to depend on the genus. The overlap aspect is clearest with Tussock and Frutexa, darker shades indicate the other genus has advantage, lighter shades that the genus you're looking at has advantage.
Concha tends to be found around canyons as does Fungoida stabitis, whilst Fungoida stetsis is found in the roughest mountain terrain going (except for the colossal meadow you find just after the third sample). Fonticula can be better claimed in mountainous areas but never seems to actually appear there, instead being around the polar regions if you aren't actually looking at an icy body.
I know that sometimes Fungoida can only be found on the polar ice caps, but are there any other biologicals which display a difference in equatorial vs polar distribution?
Not a factor I have ever considered except as I often find low angled light an issue I tend to try to land with the sun directly overhead so am presumably favouring a more equatorial location but definitely not considered it as a habitat factor.
Last night I found Stratem, some tube type cactus worth 16 million, and some grassy stuff worth 15 million all close together on one planet, I was hyped.
I also made the first footfall so it was worth a lot.
The weirdest thing though is that I landed in the flattest part of the teal there to go for the Stratum first, but there was none.
I saw the other two on the side of the nearby mountains so went thereand had to use my ground vehicle.
I found all of the samople for those two and then on a high mountain I saw some stratum, I went and got it and then got some more htere in the mountanious terrain, and then got the last one on a small flat area at the base on the way back to the ship after making a huge circle.
I captured footage but need sleep as I have an emergency vet trip in 3 hours.

This is THE most important thing regarding the heatmap.
Ive been doing Exo for few hundred hours and so far..
1. Ive only given up on one bacterium because the entire surface of the planet was the same patchy mottled color and that color was also the bacterium color.
2. I have only had to move to another spot a 1/2 dozen times because of terrain hiding what i was looking for (it is always there but sometimes you just cannot find it)
3. I gave up on the bacterium after about 3 hours.
4. To give you an answer: Income is easy so leaving something behind and missing out on income is no factor, that just leaves, looking till the fun runs out.

tl;dr
Stratum only spawns on smooth ground -- if NV is rough it can't spawn
Stratum takes time to render, 50m/s or less flyover and scan visually 200 degrees along your front
Stratum first found is worth bookoo bucks so ALWAYS get it
CANT FIND THE STRATUM??
Stratum can be displaced by other plants. Search the edges of where there's stratum, and nothing.
